This page covers the final 2 weekends of November! Enjoy a fall color tour of Mitake and Musashi Itsukaichi. Click on any thumbnail to begin.

On November 19th we went out to Sawai and Mitake. At Sawai you can find the Sawa-noi Sake Brewery, so we got off the train there, drank some Sake and then hiked up along the Tama River to Mitake, ate our lunch, enjoyed the fall colors and ultimately went home.
These 3 photos are near the outdoor restaurant/drinking area at the brewery. In the 2nd shot you can actually see tables and people eating.

The first shot is still at Sawai, actually taken while sitting at one of the tables. The 2nd shot is from a footbridge across the Tama River. The 3rd shot shows a red maple, pampas grass and the Tama River.

The first shot is a well known practice climbing rock for novice climbers - nice colors. The 2nd 2 shots are the now famous Ginkgo Tree on the far side of the river and the Red Maples on this side of the river for framing. You see pictures of this area every year, but this year
it seems like the colors are exceptionally gorgeous and the skies were definitely the most clear we have ever seen when we photographed this area. Amazing!

All 3 shots here are the same trees, different angle and a few moments difference in time. In the center shot you can see all the way to the ridge in the background, first time we've ever been able to see that in a photo.
(You can find a 2,000 x 1,516 pixel image - [950 KB] of this shot HERE - will open in new window).

The first 2 shots are about an hour later, sun has changed angle to a significant degree. The 3rd shot shows some red vines hanging from the Mitake Bridge.

Here is the final weekend of the month. We went to Musashi Itsukaichi and soaked in Tsuru-Tsuru Hot Spring for a while and when we left we walked down the road to an ice cream stand and found these three fall color shots.
